Why This Matters?
Being physically verified by a recognised medical board is a critical step in getting your seat under the PwD quota. Failure to appear for this examination may lead to disqualification from the reserved quota, even if you meet all other eligibility criteria.
Expert Tips from Radical Education
- Reach early: Hospitals can get crowded—aim to be at the venue by 7:30 AM.
- Double-check documents the day before—missing even one can cause unnecessary delays.
- Wear comfortable clothes and carry water/snacks since the process can take some time.
- Clarify your existing certificate status with the medical board if you’re unsure whether it needs renewal.
FAQs
I already have a valid disability certificate. Do I still need to appear?
Yes. Even if you have a certificate, CENTAC requires physical verification by the board for final validation.
Can someone else attend on my behalf?
No. Physical presence of the candidate is mandatory for examination and verification.
